Labour — Tynemouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

The Government are absolutely committed to outlining our vision for devolution in England and delivering good growth in every part of the United Kingdom, but my hon. Friend raises a really important matter: how mayors are held to account and scrutinised. Parliament has a really important role in scrutinising both the operation of the devolution system and the stewardship of public money, and I can assure him that these matters are being discussed at the heart of Government.
